A seventh man has been charged with a gun murder at the Notting Hill Carnival two years ago.

Lloywen Carty, 25, of Kensal Green in north-west London, is due before Brent magistrates' court today over the death of Lee Christopher Subaran.

Last year three members of the notorious Harlesden-based gang Mus Love Crew were sentenced to life for shooting Mr Subaran.

He was hit in the neck and back as he fled through a crowd of revellers at a street party after the carnival.

Leon Roberts, Tafari Dacas and Shane Taylor are currently serving jail terms.

A fourth man, Tunde Thomas, was cleared of murder. The jury could not decide about the guilt of a fifth suspect, whose retrial date is still to be set.

The sixth accused, Conroy Orlando Smith, has been charged with the murder in December and is awaiting trial.

Carty also faces a charge of possesion of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
